I sink in by my temples and had juvederm injected yesterday. I have a half dollar size lump that looks like an ugly growth. Drs office said give it time. Is this normal?

Answer: Injectable fillers I think it's reasonable to massage the area and give it time. There is certainly swelling as the filler absorbs water. This should subside in a few days. If it's still large and bothersome talk to your doctor about injecting a filler dissolving agent minimally to get some swelling down.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm injection The swelling is likely related from the minor trauma caused by injection of Juvederm. If it doesn't resolve in 10-14 days you should follow up with your surgeon. If the swelling gets worse or is associated with increasing pain you should see your doctor immediately as these may be signs of a more serious condition.

Answer: How to inject Juvederm and other fillers in the temples It is possible that you have bruising and or swelling and I would give it up to 14 days to resolve. If it doesn't, its possible that the Juvederm was injected too superficially and should be removed with Wydase.The best technique for temple injections, and also the safest, is to inject deep to the muscle. There is less risk of bruising and swelling. More importantly, if fillers are injected superficial to the temporalis muscle, it can bulge out with each chewing motion as the muscle pushes the filler outward. This is most important when using Juvederm Voluma in the temples.Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD
